I agree, let's move on to something that is more relevant and quite frankly scary.
Iran official: Attack on Syria is attack on Iran http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories...01-26-14-55-01

Two things. First, flying....get a clue. Second, the gun control thread was closed because of arguments like this. Stop, please. And don't feed the trolls.

LOL!
Syria is a mess right now. Syria Deputy PM: Russia Still Sending Arms to Damascus http://www.naharnet.com/stories/en/6...ms-to-damascus Now, I haven't been keeping up with Russian politics. Are their treaties from the old USSR still in effect under the Russian Federation? Or do they have to negotiate new treaties with countries like Syria? Just curious since the USSR no longer exits.

I suspect that Assad, with less and less control over his land, is bartering whatever oil reserves he has on hand with corporate Russia in exchange for weapons to turn things into a stalemate. Even worse is that these trades are handled probably by some of the finest minds of Russia, many of them may be hardline pro-communist ex-KGB or Spetznaz GRU who seek revenge on America and willingly do work for anyone aligned with their interests. Gazprom probably controls Kremlin instead of the other way round. Plutocracy seemed to be the in thing amongst governments nowadays. Even the CCP in China are learning the ropes. We are going to live in a funny world in this century : corporate America controls the world's money supply, corporate Russia controls the world's gas supply, and corporate China controls the world's metal supplies. So who wants to control the world's water supply?

What a strange weekend! The US tested an NMD missile, China tested its own missile defense system, India tested its submarine launched missile, and Japan launched a couple of spy satellites with one rocket. All in one weekend.

So Russia has more in common with the US than I thought. Thank you for that information SaintessHeart, I didn't know any of that. Poor Russia, to be in the same kind of corporate noose that we here in the US are in makes me weep for the common people of the world. It's absolutely crazy that so few people control so much whether they are in Russia, China, or the United States. These Oligarchs need to go. With the info you have provided Saintess, I think it is safe to guess at the possibility that the Syrian crisis is about far more than just political change for "Democracy." I'm willing to bet the Military Industrial Complex is pushed for a war with Syria and Iran so that they can make a mint on the conflict. The international banks would finance such a conflict, so I can see them making "gentlemen's agreements" with our politicians, and if the Russian Oil Barons stand to acquire new assets after the conflict then I would imagine they'd be on board as well. After all, what's the lives of a few thousand "little people" when big business profits are at stake. Quote:
Thank you for clarifying. So the Russian-Syrian treaty is probably just a new version of the old Soviet treaty they had. That makes sense. Quote:

It is a pity Kuwait still hold some form of animosity towards Iraq thanks to the war 2 decades ago; otherwise they would have evened the economic scale through an oil-producing coalition with Iraq against Saudi Arabia. Iran's conflict is unavoidable. The pessimistic side of me thinks that they will form some sort of coalition with North Korea, subvert Iraq, take over Pakistan and Kuwait then try to conquer Saudi Arabia. Iran probably has the most powerful and advanced military in the Mideast in terms of brute force and strength in numbers, so I don't see why they don't snap and whack when they are pushed into a corner. And North Korea will probably form some sort of Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact with China, overrun SK, and while China stalls the 7th Fleet they make a trip to Japan. It is only this time round's nuclear war, Iran will be wiped off the face of the Earth alongside Afghanistan and Iraq as world powers become desperate in stopping the conflict. With the new season of the EPL starting, a friend of mine joked that Europe only has one corporate interest - and that is Big Football. Even the mobs and mafia wash their money there.

In case anyone doesn't know it, Europe contains the headquarters of more megacorps the the USA does (I believe it's about 170, compared 150 in the US). |
